Extracurricular Involvement

Clinical

Clinical experience is an essential part of investigating your future career choice. It will give you a realistic view of what the profession offers, and ultimately demonstrates to professional schools that you have taken the time to explore this career.

Community

Volunteering is another avenue of exposure to the health field, gaining hands on experience, and helping the community. It is imperative that you explore the various types of volunteer work and start contacting the different programs to learn more about them. This will help you determine what health profession you would like to pursue, and if it is right for you.
